The object of this association is to promote the develop ment of the resources of Sweden and Norway, by facilitating the application of capital to safe and profitable enterprise, and it is after mature consideration and consultation in Eng land and abroad, with persons interested in the progress of the kingdom of Sweden and Norway, and thoroughly ac quainted with her resources and necessities, that the Di rectors with confidence submit this undertaking to the public as a sound and highly profitable one to its share holders. Such an institution as the present is required in no country more than in Sweden and Norway, whose vast forests, inex haustible mineral deposits, increasing agriculture and com merce, and rapidly rising manufactures, have for years past demanded financial facilities, obtainable only by means of direct credit operations. In a letter received from a high authority in Stockholm it is stated that " the opening of the few railways now in use has given a great impetus to remunerative undertakings, for which the country itself has not capital; and it is not too much to say that in the next three years many millions sterling can be readily invested." Six years ago, a Bank, under the title of the "Enskilda (private) Bank," was formed in Stockholm, which immediately created a largebusinessior itself, and has since continued it with great success ; the annual dividend, reserve included. being between 25 and 30 per cent. ou tee original amount of the shares. The Directors have taken power to issue the Company' . Debentures against the mortgag s held by the Com- a at ictly confining the amount of the Debenture ~ to the amount invested in mortgages, and a system re -gistration 'will be adopted for the protection of the I' .. Considerable profit is anticipated fro ,ebentur holders. - bra rations, as the funds of the Compaq -a this frequently'. can thus be turned of ope ned over From the above sources r' profit, the Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate a , mast as great a success for this Com pany as has invarialfiy attended similar institutions on the Continent, whit.w in addition to the profit derived from a 'Merely local h -Asiness, the English, Swedish, and Continental Yinanc.ial ',•empany (Limited will add grea ly to its income -thro9g,:t the large agency business which takes place between the :aorth of Enrope, England. and various continental cities, of Which it will, to a considerable extent, be made the dium. It cannot be doubted that the influential support given to /the Company, both in England and abroad, will secure, 'Lnamediately, an ample field for safe and lucrative business. 'The Swedish Loan, lately so successfully negotiated in Lon don, pledged to be devoted entirely to advancing the con struction of railways. will greatly contribute to the profitable enlargement of that field. Several important operations are in course of negotiation In Sweden and elsewh ere an d awaiting the rstablishment of this Company, the business of which will be canducted by the Directors on the basis adopted by the principal credit com vanies. Besides the arrangements, nearly completed, for the management of the Company's business in Sweden, negotia tions are herding for establishing influential agencies in the principal commercial cities of the Continent, the Mediterra mean, and toe Black Sea. Applications for ' , hares must be accompanied by the deposit of £ per share, to be paid o the vorapany's banke s. Shon d no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in lull ; and it a less number of shares is allotted than is tip' lied for, the overp us will be used towards the payment on allotment. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained from the bankers, brokers, solcltors, or' at the temporary offices of the Company, and the articles of associa tion may be seen at the solicitors of the Company.

Temporary Office, 80, Lombard-street, E.C. of the value of a pound, it is bartered, Nor is the case altered if the gold be paid in British or foreign coins, or in bullion. It may probably be alleged that the following observations have but little bearing on the question of what ought to be the currency for India; they have, however, been intro duced for the object of proving that if rupees possess, as metal, intrinsic value equal to the nominal value attached to the coinr,they will most assuredly disappear from circu- _ .. Lation, and that if the coins be of short weight, or the metal be of inferior quality (if they be based, however, on metal, either gold or silver, of standard quality), they will be pre sented for payment, and all the fine metal will disappear, Under these circumstances there can be no remedy what- ever against an abstraction of the precious metals in India, other wise than by suffering them so to increase in price with the growing demand for them, as to check the cone sumption of them, and cause persons to bring out their hoarded metal, on which they would be able to realise a large profit, so that ultimately the supply and demand would be equalised. All the trade of the market (as I have before observed), was originally conducted on a principle of barter, and the very first departure from it, was when credit was afforded, and there could not have been any sort or description of money used as a medium of exchange but that based on credit. A person having parted with riches without an immediate return, but with an understanding that a pay. ment was to be made at a future time, would place himself in a position to lose that payment, either from death or other causes, if, however, a document were framed which was intelligible to the generality of persons either in heroglyphice, words, or figures (possessing in itself no intrinsic value), suoh document (as a medium of exchange) would be money; it would express something of value which any one would be at liberty to interpret as he thought fit ; if in gold, the sum or quantity would bo equal at the moment to so much corn or cloth, and if in corn or cloth, to so much gold, silver, or anything else. A document such as this is money, and it might be used over and over again in transfers of wealth, increased security being given to it on every occasion of a transfer, by an endorsewent of the party parting with it. It is quite possible a document such as described might be so placed as not to command a tenth of its expressed value ; in such case he who parted with it would lose nine• tenths of its value, whilst he wbo obtained the bill would, on presenting it for payment, reap the whole advantage. The object of all persons in a commercial country must be to insure a currency which will not be open to great changes, and of a nature to admit of its being generally re- ceived. If then credit notes be the foundation on which all monetary transactions are based, it will naturally follow that such credit notes should be rendered as secure as pos- Bible, so as to make them readily negotiable, A very large number of bills or documents such as de scribed, intended to afford credit to debtors, may be held by parties whose necessities do not compel them to discount them—they are therefore kept in their possession until they arrive at maturity, when they are discharged without their having ever appeared in circulation. In cases, however, where a creditor cannot conveniently wait until a bill becomes due, he will part with it in pay ment of a debt, or in the purchase of commodities. A very large amount of business is transacted in this country through the medium of this description of money, to which no limit has as yet been attempted, and, by a return of stamp duties (some years since), it was estimated they ave • raged during the year the enormous sum of £00,000,000. Although a person making payment of a debt by means of such bills of exchange, transacts as much business as if he had held Bank of England notes or gold, yet he may occa sionally experience a difficulty in getting a creditor to ac cept payment in bills, which (apartfrom the trouble itmight give him to search out parties on whom the bills are drawn) may appear to him of a questionable character. Under these circumstances of doubt, a creditor might first require a debtor to affix his signature by way of an endorsement, and as an additional security to such bill by such a proceeding, not only the acceptors, but the drawers of the bill become liable for the fulfilment of the engagement entered into and expressed therein; and if the bill be again parted with in conducting mercantile affairs, they obtain further security from having attached to them other endorsements, since every person so endorsing a bill tenders himself personally liable for the sum expressed as much so as if he had given his own acceptance for the amount. As, however, bills of exchange are of uncertain amounts and not readily nego tiable at a distance from the place where they may be pay- able, much inconvenience is experienced in using them, not withstanding the whole system of money is based on such credit notes or documents. I now propose showing how such bills, &c., might be dealt with in India so as to aff)rd to the «hole of that ex tensive and populous empire a currency equal to all the re- quirements of the Government and necessities of the people. There is no great novelty in part of my scheme if viewed in connection with the mode of conducting business by the Bank of England, unless it be that the Bank of England is compelled to pay all its notes in gold at a fixed price, whilst I propose that the Bank should not deal in gold which should be suffered to find its price in the market, and whilst I contend that an issuing bank should have its rate of inte rest or discount fixed, the Bank of England is not restricted to any fixed rate of discouat ; the discount therefore alters as much as five hundred per cent., making money at one time too abundant and at other times scarcely attainable. Lot us suppose a large nuraber of persons in India with great wealth (based on Government or other national securities), composed partly of Europeans and partly of natives, to combine and establish a bank (a com pany for guaranteeing the security and payment of bills of exchange) and let there be a board of direc tors chosen, composed of persons supposed to be most con versant with mercantile affairs, and best qualified to determine the nature and quality of bills of exchange in different parts of the country, such as may be presented at the bank for discount, confining the business of such bank, or company, to the discounting such bills as the directors may approve, having no more than two months to run at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, leaving the rate of in terest or discount open to fluctuation with other banks and on the money market. A bank, such as dectibed, would do nothing more than substitute one sort of paper money for another. Such a measure would effectually prevent the rate of discount rising above 5 per cent, on good security, and consequently there could never be a scarcity of money, whilst on the other hand, if there happened at any time to be but a trifling excess of money in the market, it would be exhibited by banks and others finding a difficulty in ob taining for it 5 per cent., and any abatement in the rate of discount out of doors would have the effect of stopping any further extension of a paper circulation by the issuing bank ; and as the bills becoming due, would probably be at the rate of £5,000,000 weekly, the amount would, in a few days, be so diminished as again to raise the rate of discount to 5 per cent. There should be but one bank of issue in India, and i. the Government required an advance of money the bank should give it on the deposit of Exchequer Bills, at the rate of discount above stated, unless it could be obtained from the public at a lower rate, and that these bills should not have more than two months to run, be limited in amount by legislative measures, and be paid off as the revenue was collected. Assuming the director to act with equal pru dence and judgment, as the Director of the Bank of Eng land, there is every reason to suppose (as every note in cir culation in India would be affording an interest of 5 per cent. par annum) that the shareholders would be returned the interest on the stock transferred into the names of the director of the bank, and, in addition, be paid 5 per cent. per annum, merely for the risk incurred in guaranteeing the payment of mercantile bills; they would thus be entitled to 8 per cent, in lieu of 3, with very little risk of loss. As a proof how little is the risk of loss in England, it is only necessary to remark that £lOO bank stock is worth £240, because it affords an interest of 8 per cent. It has been suggested to me that if such a bank had the power of issuing, I have now to point out what inducement could be held out for persons with great wealth to combine to form such a bank. As there will not be required any advance of money, ex cept for the construction of a banking house, the original capital of the shareholders would be introduced, being in verted as a reserved fund. There might be 20 or 50 millions of Government secu rities affording an interest of only 3 per cent, to proprietors transferred into the names of the director of the bank, as a security against any losses the bank might sustain from mis mangement, and issuing an unlimited amount of paper money on discounting bills at 5 per cent., it might lead to such an extension of trade, and such an advance in the rates of wages and in the prices of commodities, as would, generate a further and an indefinite requirement for money at that rate. This suggestion is worthy of consideration, as there can be no doubt but that if the operative classes of this country were fully employed, so that needle women were afforded sufficient means of earning a living, by taking the places of men in shops, and in some cases following agricultural pur suits, as they did in France during the war with this coun try, and that the workhouses were relieved of able-bodied paupers, it could not possibly be effected without causing a general rise in the wages of labour, and consequently in the cost and price of the commodities produced. Thus, then, more money would be required, not only to pay an additional number of labourers and a higher rate of wages, but as commodities would be in increased quantities, and command higher prices, a very great increase would take place in the amount of bills of excnange, for a sum of £l,OOO would possibly represent, in a time of great pros perity, but half as much produce as in a time of great ad , varsity and depression. But the question hero arises, are we to keep down the wages of labour, prevent needlewomen obtaining other occupations which will afford them more than a bare exist ence, and limit the quantity of riches which might be pro- PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. duced by additional labour, for the object of insurbg to annuitants, landlords, and others, an unchanged or as in creasing means of living? or shall we admit of an increased production of riches, and legislate to afford to annuitants, Landlords, &c., such an increase of interest or rental es would keep pace with any increase in the nominal pekes of products ? Why should any class of persons be prejudiced when tl6 actual products of the nation arc being increased ? If a standard of value of any sort is adopted for the purpose of insuring to annuitants, &c., an unchanged means of living, it is immaterial what that product or standard may be ; the intention in the selection of a standard of value is to insure an unchangod price, not only of the product selected for a standard, but an unchanged pricy for other things (so far as seasons and improved means of producing them were concerned) which cannot possibly bo effected without its controlling the wages of labour, which are the means of pro ducing those things. Why are we now to pursue a different course from that which has been in operation throughout the world from the earliest periods of history. We are told there was a etand dard of value in the time of William the Conqueror, and that a "pound" meant a pound weight of pure silver. A pound weight of silver, like a pound weight of gold, or a pound weight of lead, is not an expression of value ; the value of one may alter as much as the value of the other, and if a promise be made by one person to another to pay or deliver to him a pound weight of silver or a bushel of wheat, the payment is determined by the article named—it is for the time being a standard ; but the pound of silver no more de termines what shall be given to a labourer as wages for a day's work than does a bushel of wheat ; it is only when money in circulation is controlled by the quantity of gold or silver in deposit in the Bank that the price (not the weight) operates beneficially or injuriously on trade. Had there been a standard of sane in the time of Wil liam the Conqueror, as there doubtless was a standard for number, one could not have become three—a pound weight of silver, "a pound," could not have become three pounds, two ounces, or three pounds, four shillings. There was no standard of value in the time of William the Con queror either in this or in any other country; there was none in 1717 when Sir Isaac Newton was Master of the Mint, as is proved by a letter of his to the Lords of the Treasury stating that the price of silver altered as much as fourpence an ounce, not measured in gold, but in the ideal unit, the pound of account. In reviewing the foregoing lines I would observe that a bank such as proposed would not create money, it would do nothing more than substitute one sort of paper money, a paper credit, for another. The Bank of England does not create bills of exchange (which are uncontrolled in amount, and are instruments of credit, and by credit nine-tenths of the transactions of the country are carried on) it only operates by alteration in the rates of discount, to throw more or less discredit on such bibs. If the Bank of England were to discount every bill of exchange said to amount at all times to L 500,000,000, there would be a less amount of money (paper credit) in circulation by five per cent. than if the bills were not discounted; and if there were no Bank of England and a banking system were unknown to us, bills such as de scribed would become common instruments for the transfer of riches where credit was afforded. A bank note is well known to every one ; it is received in payment of taxes by the Government in all parts of the country, and by landlords, &c., in discharge of rents, tithes, &c. If, then, such notes were issued by a company possessing enormous wealth, in exchange for bills by indi viduals whose names were unknown except to the di rectors of the company, where could such an injury be inflicted ? The public, in a case such as described, would have no thing whatever to do with the affairs of the Bank, except being at liberty to change large notes for small ones, or vice versa, and such as might be much worn or soiled, The business of the Bank would be strictly confined to discounting bills such as the directors approved, and receiving payment for them in notes iu3ued when they became due, in which case the bills and the notes exchanged would be cancelled. There should doubtless be in India a small metallic cur rency of coins below the intrinsic value of the metal for small sums inconvertible into gold or silver except at the market price. If under these circumstances there should be an excessive demand for silver, the price would continue to rise until checked, when a reaction would take place, and the hoarded silver would be brought forth, for those who had bought it at a low price would be willing to realise a profit. CHAS, ENDERBY. 48, Devonshire-street, Queen-square, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, EPSOM RACES.—TUESDAY. The approach of the great Epsom event suggests bul few remarks. Last night the situation appeared to be un• changed. The report from "the Corner" gave the favour , ices as firm, but mentioned an apathy and want of spirit in the betting somewhat singular. Blair Athol, that mys• terious dark one, added another chapter to his history by being in demand at 10, and soon after dropping rapidly away to 14 to 1. I his and the advance of Mr Hodgman's outsider Valiant were the only noticeable features, But this morning on arriving on the Downs a filip was given to the proceedings by a sadden jump made by Mr Merry's horse, who soon after the commencement of business dis possessed General Peel, and was installed first favourite at sto 1. His party were very sanguine, and indeed, it half of what is said about his performances be true, we must consider the Derby as a foregone conclusion. The other leading favourites of course suffered from the Chief's sudden elevation. Ely after the race for the Trial Stakes, in which old Fairwater cut down her horses as she liked, and Isoline, we are sorry to say, broke down so badly that he racing career is likely to be terminated, came into favour at 16 to 1, but speedily retreated to his old price. Umpire happening to be in good temper did not shut up when collared by Jane Shore in the Brighton Stakes, but won, after a clever race, by a head, the others placed making a good finish. There was some interest attached to the Woodcote, though a com paratively small field came to the post for it, one of the best looking ones being a North Lincoln filly of Baron Roths child, with some of the points of her sire about her. She ran, however, rather raw, Gardevisure repeating her victory here in the spring rather easily. The Derby betting had been very brisk during the after noon., The Scottish Chief, after the sudden rush above mentioned, towards the middle of the day declined, and General Peel again assumed the lead. There was little al teration in the others. Of the outside division Valiant was most in request, while the Danbury hero has received his coup de grace. The course presented that business appearance always characteristic of off days at Epsom. The Hill was bare, awaiting the crowds that will cover it to-morrow. It is undoubted hard going, but not so bad as some anniversaries have seen. The Craven Stakes of 10 save each, with 50 save added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age.

Crossing the road, Fairwater's lead gradually diminished, and she was joined by Blarney and Cutaway, the three running in company to the distance, where she had all her horses beaten, and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths; a bad third, The Brighton Stakes of 10 sous each, h ft, with 100 soya added (handicap), for all age.; winners extra.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN; venturing an opinion on so important a subject as that of the course which cught to be pursued in respect to a monetary system for India, I do so in ignorance of the customs and habits of the natives of that populous, rich, „ and extensive dependency of the British empire, but with an understanding that the silver which finds an entrance into that country, either in the form of bullion or coin, is sought after to be hoarded, or converted into ornaments. Now, there is no possible means of staying or preventing an extension of such a course, co long as the people of that country continue to improve their condition, Whatever may be tho amount of silver coined, it will be melted down and disappear, so long as we continue our present system of currency. 1 base all my argument on money on one broad principle, and cannot understand that a sound and wholesome system n one country can be insufficient in another. I have ever been eatiefled that the monetary system of England is fearfully defective, and if evidence is required we have only to suppose the same causes in force in England as now exist in India to establish the fret: Let us suppose there to be no Savings Banks in England, and no funded debt where savings can be invested to afford an interest, is it not reasonable to suppose that if the operative classes are in a thriving condition they will hoard gold and silver ? and if they were to do so, would it not effectually defeat our present system of currency ? If so, it follows that a national debt savings bank or other securities affording an interest, are absolutely necessary to prevent persons hoard ing the precious metals. If a currency be based on a gold or silver standard, and the prices of these metals be fixed, there cannot be any great demand for them without its causing a scarcity of money, which we know from experience will depress the price of all descriptions of wealth and throw labourers out of work and cause great distress, and until the people are reduced in circumstances they will not trench upon their savings, or bring forth their hoarded gold and silver. If measures were passed, giving to coin a higher nominal value Vian the metals possess, and if they were convertible, the coin would be exchanged for bullion which would disap- pear, and thus effectually destroy the whole system on which our monetary system is based. _ -- ------ that of the metal. So lon g as the stamp A stamp gives to a coin a p er f ect l y distinct value from is respected a coin will pass for its full deno m i nated value as a pi e ce of money, although the intrinsic value of the metal may be little or nothing. The founder of Sparta made it a fundamental principle that its money should not possess intrinsic value; and it is notorious that whilst its coin was made of worthless iron— iron purposely rendered worthless by being deprived of its malleability—for which it was the scoff of surrounding nations, the people of Sparta, were the admiration of the whole world, and so th ey continued for near l y 500 y ears ; but so soon as Lysand er b egan to break throug h th e se vere prohibition of Lyeut ' llB against the use of gold and silver money, from that time historians date the commencement of her decline.

Why (if the coins before mentioned are mere tokens, ing a value that doe s represent not respectively belong to them) should not the Government take measures for check ing dishonest practices with the silver and copper tokens, by issuing them so depreciated in intrinsic value as not to admit of their being sweated with any great advantage,leav ing the silver ones, however, of such worth as not to make it a source of profit to forge or coin them. We learn than in China or Japan there exists a paper currency w ith notes fur a less sum than a farthing.'lWhere would have been the r eal difference if instead of paper the s tamp or figure giving such notes a nominal value had been affixed to parchment, leather, worthless iron (as in Sparta), or to copper or bronze of little intrinsic value (as in Eng land), since none of t h e m would circulate for the intrinsic value of the materials, whilst all of them would equally re present the sums expressed. There is undoubtedly an advantage in having a small metallic coin as compared with an equally small paper cur rency, since it is not liable in a like degree to wear and tear, or to be lost. All trade was originally conducted on a principl e o f b ar t er , and there can be no departure from it so long as credit is not afforded, and one product of intrinsic value is exchanged for another—no measure of legislation can change a trans action of barter into money. A stamp attached to a piece of gold only guarantees the purity of the metal. There is no universal law which constitutes the precious metals money ; therefore it follows that the acts of one nation are not binding on another, and an act of Parliament has no more control over the currencies of the world than an ant of the natives of Australia would have over the currency of England. An English gold coi n of full weight, ca ll e d a sovereign, circulates as a piece of money for a pound, the stamp con stitutes the piece of money a pound, and the gold on which the stamp is impressed is of the value assigned to it by the I stamp. There are not two values attached to a sovereign— the stamp attached to a piece of gold does not add one farthing to the value of the metal. It is true, an act of Parliament renders the stamp on a gold coin inoperative when it has lost a given we ight, but it takes nothing from the intrinsic value of the gold remaining ; t h e stamp is cancelled, but the gold, like silver or anything else, is left as a conmodity to find its value in the market ; its price, however, which measures the value of the gold, and which belong to the stamp, is fixed• In the case of a Bank of England note for £5, it retains an unaltered nominal value so long as it continues in circu lation, however much it may be torn or soiled; if, however, it were possible to give to the material of the note an intrin sic value, either to the full amount of £5, or only to a part of that sum, questions would certainly arise (if a note were torn) whether persons should adhere to the nominal or intrin sic value. If an English cJin called a sovereign be used in payment of a debt for the sum of a pound, the debt is dis charged in substance; or if it be exchanged for something EPSOM SORATCHINGS.

WATFORD, Tuesday, Last evening an inquest was held at Caahiobury house, the seat of the Earl of Essex, to ascertain the cause of the death of Horatio, widow of Le Comte Achille de Septeuil, the eldest sister of the Earl of Essex, who lost her life by fire at the residence of her brother, undar the circumstances detailed in evidence. The Coroner, Mr. itobert Geogre Lowe, solicitor, of St. Alban's, having empanelled a highly respec tablejury, the following witnesses were called. Charles Dodds, servant in the establishment of the Earl of Essex, deposed that Lady de Septeuil was on a visit to her brother, the Earl of Essex, at Cashiobury-house, and that on Satur day night about a quarter past 10 o'clock he heard the belt of the green drawing-room ring violently. He was proceeaing to that room in haste, when on passing into the cloister-room he saw Lady de Septeuil lying on the floor with her clothes burning, and the Earl throwing a large red cloth over her. Her ladyship was screaming, "Fire, fire," "Save the house."
